Royal Directly Heated Triode Preamplifier
The Royal has 3 line level
inputs that are selectable into a custom input transformer.
This transformer isolates the input from either the Penny
& Giles volume control, or a remote controlled volume
control (your choice). The volume control feeds the 71A
tube used as a gain and output tube. Therefore only one
device is used per channel. The input transformer assures
the Royal to be true in phase. The 71A known as a Directly
Heated Output tube is hefty enough to drive any type of
amplifier.
MSRP $7500, with silver input transformer $12,500
Cardinal,
Napoleon and KIR v2
The Signature Series of 300B
type products have been produced and acknowledged the world
round. The Cardinal has received many rewards and so has
the Napoleon. All three models look very similar to the
Cardinal shown above with various differences in power and
output transformers that make the products unique in their
own way. The Cardinal (12.5W's) sports a 6C45PI input
triode that drives the 300B in self bias mode and the
rectifier of choice here is the 5AR4/GZ34. The Napoleon
(8W's) uses the WE437A driving the 300B using the 274B as
it's rectifier. The KIR v2 (25W's) uses the 300B+ Matrix or
the EML520 as the output tube. The input tube is the 12AX7A
and the rectifier here is the 5AR4/GZ34. All three models
use a grid choke on the output tube and custom magnetics
from MagneQuest as well as capacitors from Black Gate.

Corona and
Lightning Series Amplifiers
The new Corona series
amplifiers are available with the following output tubes
that require DC heaters: 300B (6W's), 50 (6W's), 6A3/6B4G
(4W's) , PX4/RE604 (4W's) and VT52 (5W's). The Lightning
series is available for tubes using AC heaters: 45
(2.5-3.5W's), 2A3 (3.5-4.5W's). In the Lightning series the
rectifier tube is the 6V4/EZ80 but in the Corona it's the
5AR4/GZ34. Both amplifiers use the 5842A/WE417A input
driver tube. The Corona Enhanced version includes higher
grade output transformer and upgraded components. All
models use a grid choke on the output tube and custom
magnetics from MagneQuest as well as capacitors from Black
Gate. These amplifiers come with fixed output impedance of
8 or 16 ohms. The Enhanced output transformer does have
both 8 and 16 ohm output taps. As an option you can call
and order these with a switch.
